Critic Reviews

Variety - Joe Leydon

A frenetic but undeniably funny follow-up that offers twice the number of singing-and-dancing rodents in another seamless blend of CGI and live-action elements. Read full review

St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Charles Williams

The excellent animation makes up for a so-so plot, but it really doesn't matter. "The Squeakquel" is for kids. Read full review

The New York Times - Neil Genzlinger

The earlier “Alvin” movie made more than $217 million just in the United States. It’s hard to imagine this somewhat confused sequel doing as well. Read full review

Village Voice - Ella Taylor

Closing out a pretty great year for children's movies—Betty Thomas's dutiful animated and live-action sequel to 2007's "Alvin and the Chipmunks" brings up the rear with capable mediocrity. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin

Sure enough, director Betty Thomas delivers pretty much the bare minimum: peppy, brightly colored, tune-filled nonsense sure to meet the low, low standards of its pre-kindergarten core audience. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen

Charmless sequel. Read full review

Time Out - Karina Longworth

Blending CGI and live action, this “squeakquel” to the witless 2007 kids’ film proves just how dangerous such technology is when placed in the wrong hands. Read full review

I think the movie was terrific and very kid friendly. Adults will love it too.

Not as good as the other 2 chipmunks movies but still great. The storyline was good. It was funny overall. The songs were great. It even had Wii Sports make a cameo. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is a great movie and you should watch it anytime.

Alvin pulled a sequel, and Alvin, Simon and Theodore have company of Ardites , lol that funny idea of a sequel to Alvin and the Chipmunks , but otherwise was the best movie of one of the most disastrous film of the family sagas.

"Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" is a movie so preposterously obvious you won't remember a thing except for the annoying high-pitched voices of the chipmunks after 2 hours.

This was tolerable but a big let down from the first one. It just wasn't as funny.

Really a very tasteless movie. I don't want to waste my time with another brainless movie like this. Really stupid argument even for a 5 years kid!! And they want to make another!!! Noooooooo!
